Morning farewell to Mars.
I was out looking at Mars and the Moon at 6.30 this morning with my little Vixen ED81mm
Mars is now well over to the West, only about 30 degrees above the horizon.
Ice at both poles was visible at 125x and some faint markings were visible on the surface. It sounds a little boring, but it wasn't. Mars is now large and bright and just seeing it this big and such an expanse of its orange surface against a twilight sky was quite thrilling.
